We knew from the murky demo of "Mushaboom"-- the one that featured the one-time Broken Social Scenester howling a bare melody over the din of traffic pouring through her bedroom window-- that Feist was sitting on a beautiful song, but this studio version, the lead single from the forthcoming Let It Die... yeah, just perfect, a home run. In the span of four minutes, it flirts with three possibilities, first imagining itself as a sparse, percussive march (performed on wooden floors), then as a gushy, introducing-the-band vamp sequence that shifts the spotlight restlessly between the piano player, the horn section and the lead guitarist (all previously unseen) and then-- most incredibly-- as a raft of unresolved choral vocals and plinking glockenspiels that casually out-Vespertines half of Vespertine! And all of it built around that tensile vocal melody, so sweet and so natural that you can't believe it hasn't been written already.

Sadly, Chapters bargain-binned it about a year ago... Your best bet are used record stores in cities that have a Chapters. (Case in point, Beat Goes On (http://www.beatgoeson.com) has 4 copys at four different locations (Ajax, Hamilton (Main West), Niagara Falls, Oakville)). I've had some reasonably good experiences with their on-line order system and their Cambridge and K-W locations. Their Guelph location... well it would be good except they believe they're starring in High Fidelity. Other suggestions, Second Spin, Vortex Records, and the non-descript CD places on Bloor. And while I really doubt it, considering her new found fame in France, it might be possible to have her consider a re-issue.

I believe 'Let it Die' will be released in Canada on May 12. :) /Jason - -- Upgrade to Premium IGN Email - - 15MB of space - - No ads! - - Pop3 Downloads Powered by Outblaze ------------------------------ End of navy-soup-digest V7 #13 ******************************
